Mashed Turnips and Celery Root and Potatoes

The combination of root vegetables is a keeper to add to your weekly rotation. Celery root is an antioxidant rich vegetable high in bone-building vitamins and minerals. It is also gut healthy and a rich source of fiber. Same for turnips but did you know that protein and omega 3 fatty acids are present in addition to all other benefits? The addition of the potato, while full of antioxidants and beneficial nutrients are added to tie these wonderful flavors together and deliver a consistency like a bowl of comforting and creamy mashed potatoes.
